June 29, 2025 | Little Raccoon | Wellston, OH - Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki Team Green™ visited Wellston, Ohio for the 51st running of the Little Raccoon National Enduro on Sunday. The team proved they were up for the challenge, winning all three Pro classes for the second time this year.
Josh Toth had an intense week leading into the race. After winning the overall at the Snowshoe GNCC the weekend prior, Toth drove to Massachusetts to race Pro Motocross at Southwick on Saturday. He qualified and finished 25th overall, respectable for a lifetime off-road racer. After the race, Toth and his mechanic drove 12 hours through the night from Massachusetts to Ohio to race the National Enduro and arrived just in time to start the race. He won three tests and finished first overall with a 24 second lead. “This has been a crazy ride. I was definitely tired today, but I knew I had to push through. The trail was incredible, and I had a lot of fun,” said Toth.
Steward Baylor also won three tests on the day, but came up just short of the overall win, finishing just behind Toth in second in the Pro 1 Class. “I just took too long to get going today. I caught myself just riding out there, not racing. I knew Josh [Toth] would be good here. So far this year, we have been trading wins, so next round it's my turn. I’m looking forward to the challenge,” said Baylor.
Grant Baylor climbed back on the podium this weekend, finishing the day third in the Pro 1 Class. “Today was better. I’m getting closer to these guys, but man, they are riding well. I’ll push hard this summer and come out swinging at the next one,” said Baylor.
Nick DeFeo, victorious at the Cherokee National in Georgia earlier this year, got back to his winning ways with a dominant win in the Pro 2 Class and fifth overall on Sunday. DeFeo won all but one test. “I’m figuring these enduros out. I go out there and trail ride, and it’s working. My bike was awesome today, and I’m having fun,” said DeFeo.
Rachael Archer got back on top as well, winning the Women’s Elite class by over a minute. “I had heaps of fun today. The trail was slick and technical, but my bike was working great on it. I’m glad to get the win today and get closer in the points race,” said Archer.
The team will race next on July 27 at the Rattlesnake National Enduro in Pennsylvania.
